Chromosome
The order of bases in DNA is a code for making proteins. The code is read in groups of three
DNAGene
Cell machinery copies the code making an mRNA molecule. This moves into the cytoplasm.
Ribosomes read the code and accurately join Amino acids together to make a protein

Cytogenetics:
Human Cytogenetics involves the study of human chromosomes in health and disease.
Chromosome studies are an important laboratory diagnostic procedure in1) prenatal diagnosis2) certain patients with mental retardation and multiple
birth defects3) patients with abnormal sexual development4) some cases of infertility or multiple miscarriages5) in the study and treatment of patients with
malignancies & hematologic disorders.
New techniques allow for increased resolution.

Metaphase chromosomes:
■ Each chromosome has a centromere (CEN), region which contains the kinetochore,
■ The 2 sister-chromatids are principally held together at the centromeric region.
■ CEN divides the chromosome into two arms: the short arm (p arm) and the long arm (q arm).
■ Each arm terminates in a telomere.
A single complete set of chromosomes. (N=23 for humans)
![Page 16: Medical Genetics](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022033016/568163f5550346895dd582b5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Centromeric position and arm length:
The ratio of the lengths of the two arms is constant for each chromosome.
This ratio is an important parameter for chromosome identification and allows classification of chromosomes into several basic morphologic types: i-metacentric ii-sub-metacentric iii-acrocentric
In the human karyotype chromosome pairs 13, 14, 15, 21, 22 are acrocentric

- 22 pairs of autosomes, numbered from 1 to 22 by order of decreasing length
- 1 pair of sex chromosomes: XX in the female, XY in the male.

Certain staining techniques cause the chromosomes to take on a banded appearance,
Each arm presenting a sequence of dark and light bands .
Patterns are specific and repeatable for each chromosome,
Allowing accurate identification and longitudinal mapping for locating gene positions and characterising structural changes.
Patterns, and the nomenclature for defining positionalmapping have been standardised

G Banding:Treat with trypsin and then with Geimsa Stain.
R Banding:Heat and then treat with Geimsa Stain.

The packaging of DNA into chromosomes involves several orders of DNA coiling and folding.
The normal human karyotype is made up of 46 chromosomes consisting of 22 pairs of autosomes and a pair of sex chromosomes, XX in the female, and XY in the male.
Each chromosome consists of a short (p) and a long (q) arm joined at the centromere.
Chromosomes are analyzed using cultured cells and specific banding patterns can be identified using special staining techniques.
Molecular cytogenetic techniques (e.g. FISH) are based on the ability of a single-stranded DNA probe to anneal with its complementary target sequence. They can be used to study chromosmes in metaphase or interphase.
